48Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Alas for Nebo, it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; the fortress is put to shame and broken down;H4124H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1945H5015H7703H7156H3001H3920H4869H3001H2865 2the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned evil against her: "Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!" You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.H8416H4124H2809H2803H7451H3212H3772H1471H1826H4086H2719H3212H310 3Hark! a cry from Horonaim, "Desolation and great destruction!"H6963H6818H2773H7701H1419H7667 4"Moab is destroyed!" her little ones cry out.H4124H7665H6810H2201H8085 5For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping bitterly; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distressing cry of anguish.H4608H3872H1065H1065H5927H4174H2773H6862H8085H6818H7667 6Flee! Save yourselves! Be like a wild ass in the desert!H5127H4422H5315H1961H6176H4057 7Surely, because you trusted in your strongholds and your treasures, you also shall be taken; Chemosh shall go out into exile, with his priests and his attendants.H982H4639H214H3920H3645H3318H1473H3548H8269H3162 8The destroyer shall come upon every town, and no town shall escape; the valley shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.H7703H935H5892H5892H4422H6010H6H4334H8045H3068H559 9Set aside salt for Moab, for she will surely fall; her towns shall become a desolation, with no inhabitant in them.H5414H6731H4124H5323H3318H5892H8047H3427H2004 10Accursed is the one who is slack in doing the work of the LORD; and accursed is the one who keeps back the sword from bloodshed.H779H6213H4399H3068H7423H779H4513H2719H1818 11Moab has been at ease from his youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into exile; therefore his flavor has remained and his aroma is unspoiled.H4124H7599H5271H8252H8105H7324H3627H3627H1980H1473H2940H5975H7381H4171 12Therefore, the time is surely coming, says the LORD, when I shall send to him decanters to decant him, and empty his vessels, and break his jars in pieces.H3117H935H5002H3068H7971H6808H6808H7324H3627H5310H5035 13Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.H4124H954H3645H1004H3478H954H1008H4009 14How can you say, "We are heroes and mighty warriors"?H559H1368H2428H582H4421 15The destroyer of Moab and his towns has come up, and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.H4124H7703H5927H5892H4005H970H3381H2874H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635 16The calamity of Moab is near at hand and his doom approaches swiftly.H343H4124H7138H935H7451H4116H3966 17Mourn over him, all you his neighbors, and all who know his name; say, "How the mighty scepter is broken, the glorious staff!"H5439H5110H3045H8034H559H5797H4294H7665H8597H4731 18Come down from glory, and sit on the parched ground, enthroned daughter Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you; he has destroyed your strongholds.H1323H3427H1769H3381H3519H3427H6772H7703H4124H5927H7843H4013 19Stand by the road and watch, you inhabitant of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping; say, "What has happened?"H3427H6177H5975H1870H6822H7592H5127H4422H559H1961 20Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down; wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.H4124H3001H2865H3213H2199H5046H769H4124H7703 21Judgment has come upon the tableland, upon Holon, and Jahzah, and Mephaath,H4941H935H4334H776H2473H3096H4158 22and Dibon, and Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,H1769H5015H1015 23and Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,H7156H1014H1010 24and Kerioth, and Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.H7152H1224H5892H776H4124H7350H7138 25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the LORD.H7161H4124H1438H2220H7665H5002H3068 26Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against the LORD; let Moab wallow in his vomit; he too shall become a laughingstock.H7937H1431H3068H4124H5606H6892H7814 27Israel was a laughingstock for you, though he was not caught among thieves; but whenever you spoke of him you shook your head!H3478H7814H4672H1590H1767H1697H5110 28Leave the towns, and live on the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove that nests on the sides of the mouth of a gorge.H3427H4124H5800H5892H7931H5553H3123H7077H5676H6354H6310 29We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud—of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.H8085H1347H4124H3966H1343H1363H1346H1347H7312H3820 30I myself know his insolence, says the LORD; his boasts are false, his deeds are false.H3045H5678H5002H3068H907H6213 31Therefore I wail for Moab; I cry out for all Moab; for the people of Kir-heres I mourn.H3213H4124H2199H4124H1897H582H7025 32More than for Jazer I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your branches crossed over the sea, reached as far as Jazer; upon your summer fruits and your vintage the destroyer has fallen.H1612H7643H1058H1065H3270H5189H5674H3220H5060H3220H3270H7703H5307H7019H1210 33Gladness and joy have been taken away from the fruitful land of Moab; I have stopped the wine from the wine presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; the shouting is not the shout of joy.H8057H1524H622H3759H776H4124H3196H7673H3342H1869H1959H1959H1959 34Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For even the waters of Nimrim have become desolate.H2201H2809H500H3096H5414H6963H6820H2773H5697H7992H4325H5249H4923 35And I will bring to an end in Moab, says the LORD, those who offer sacrifice at a high place and make offerings to their gods.H7673H4124H5002H3068H5927H1116H6999H430 36Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the people of Kir-heres; for the riches they gained have perished.H3820H1993H4124H2485H3820H1993H2485H582H7025H3502H6213H6 37For every head is shaved and every beard cut off; on all the hands there are gashes, and on the loins sackcloth.H7218H7144H2206H1639H3027H1417H4975H8242 38On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation; for I have broken Moab like a vessel that no one wants, says the LORD.H4553H1406H4124H7339H7665H4124H3627H2656H5002H3068 39How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become a derision and a horror to all his neighbors.H3213H2865H4124H6437H6203H954H4124H7814H4288H5439 40For thus says the LORD: Look, he shall swoop down like an eagle, and spread his wings against Moab;H559H3068H1675H5404H6566H3671H4124 41the towns shall be taken and the strongholds seized. The hearts of the warriors of Moab, on that day, shall be like the heart of a woman in labor.H7152H3920H4679H8610H1368H3820H4124H3117H3820H802H6887 42Moab shall be destroyed as a people, because he magnified himself against the LORD.H4124H8045H5971H1431H3068 43Terror, pit, and trap are before you, O inhabitants of Moab! says the LORD.H6343H6354H6341H3427H4124H5002H3068 44Everyone who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and everyone who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the trap. For I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their punishment, says the LORD.H5127H5211H6440H6343H5307H6354H5927H6354H3920H6341H935H4124H8141H6486H5002H3068 45In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives stop exhausted; for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, a flame from the house of Sihon; it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, the scalp of the people of tumult.H5127H5975H6738H2809H3581H784H3318H2809H3852H996H5511H398H6285H4124H6936H7588H1121 46Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished, for your sons have been taken captive, and your daughters into captivity.H188H4124H5971H3645H6H1121H3947H7628H1323H7633 47Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment on Moab.H7725H7622H4124H319H3117H5002H3068H2008H4941H4124
